Glendale Heights man dies, 2nd man hurt in Maywood shooting

No arrests have been made and police are trying to figure out why someone fatally shot a Glendale Heights man and wounded a second man last night in west suburban Maywood, authorities said.

Marquis Coleman, 33, of the 400 block of Sidney Avenue in Glendale Heights, was pronounced dead at 8:17 p.m. Saturday at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Someone shot Coleman about 8 p.m. at the intersection of 12th Avenue and Fillmore Street, an intersection which is not normally an area that has many shootings or crime, said interim Maywood Police Chief Elijah Willis.

"I don't know what the motive is at this point," Willis said Sunday. No arrests have been made, said Willis.

Coleman and a 24-year-old man from Bellwood were in a car together, stopped at a stop sign at 12th and Fillmore, when someone shot them, wounding Coleman and hitting the other man twice in the left leg, Willis said in a news release. Following the shooting, the 24-year-old drove both of them to Loyola.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Maywood police at 708 450-4471.
